While Ricciardo denied such rivalries on the route with the Spaniard, he trolled Sainz in a funny way because of his style of clothing. The Australian claimed Sainz was “okay” despite dressing like a 60-year-old.

“I probably have other people I don’t like, you know, unlike Carlos. I mean, he dresses like a 60 year old, but otherwise he’s fine, ”he said.

Since the Honey Badger’s hilarious comment, fans have been eagerly waiting to hear Sainz’s response. Well it’s finally here. Sainz has contradicted Ricciardo’s statement that you can never buy style and class with money.

What did Carlos Sainz say?

As reported by Motorsport-Total, the Ferrari driver opened up his views on Ricciardo’s clothing style. He had the feeling that Ricciardo still doesn’t know what it is like to wear a “decent shirt”.

“You just can’t buy style or class,” he said. “He’s still trying to wear these fancy clothes. But he doesn’t know what it’s like to wear a decent shirt. “(Translated from German with Google Translate)

Ultimately, it looks like Sainz is enjoying his dress style, but how far does he enjoy the fairy tale with Ferrari?

Although the Spaniard has only spent two weekends with Ferrari, he has shown that he is only meters away from being 100 percent at home.

He also assessed his time with the dancing stallion so far; The Spaniard finally gave a “solid nine” out of ten. “I’m very close to feeling 100 percent part of the team,” he said. A solid nine. I’m very happy with my life at the moment, ”said Sainz.

Sainz is aiming for race wins

He also stated that if he manages to secure his first race win in F1, he will give the 10/10.

“But a race win is still missing. A race win is like a ten, ”he said. While a Ferrari win looks grim in a fairly straightforward race, it only takes one chaotic race to put the cars out of service.

Given that there could be more races this season in inclement weather, all Sainz needs to do is keep his nose clean and bring his car home in one piece. Will we see the Spaniard secure his first F1 race win this year?
